Many critics hate this version of "Grease" and thought Hicks would just drag it further into the negative. <BR/><BR/>I think many Broadway critics are quite surprised at how much better the "Grease" experience is, now he's in the cast. The reference 'about the time most critics would run screaming' - that's a compliment to Mr. Hicks - that once blasted ending has much improved. lol<BR/><BR/>Nothing but win here for him. Considering the Early Works dropping, add to this great exposure on the Capitol Fourth and he certainly will see a resurgence of interest, he's at the right place, right now.Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00060218181879503238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21509393.post-38402875514696445342008-06-27T23:57:00.000-05:002008-06-27T23:57:00.000-05:00Great news isn't it?A lot of new people to be inte...Great news isn't it?<BR/>A lot of new people to be interested in the Early Works CD, perhaps. Name in the news before anything drops. Taylors good at this sort of thing, I say why not?<BR/>That part where he says "this is where the critics run screaming" wouldn't that have been before Taylor turned it into a 10 minute jam. Maybe some of those same critics wouldn't run now. As Taylor said "endings are key" and he is good at them. I read that they got a standing ovation at curtain call tonight. He must really be helping them to "Whomp" up that ending. LOLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
